Atlanta Braves SP Tyrell Jenkins was pretty good in his start Tuesday, July 19, versus the Cincinnati Reds. The right-hander went six innings, allowing two runs on four hits, including a homer. He also walked four and struck out two.

Fantasy Tip: Not a terrific outing, but certainly an acceptable one from the 24-year-old making just his second career major league start. He's yielded only three combined runs over those two assignments, which should place him on the radar in deep formats. Unfortunately, he was robbed of his first career victory when Jim Johnson blew the save in the ninth, but there's certainly some potential here despite the team he pitches for.

Atlanta Braves SP Tyrell Jenkins lasted 4 2/3 innings in his first major league start Wednesday, July 6, against the Philadelphia Phillies, but he was solid, allowing only a single run on four hits and a walk. He also struck out one, en route to picking up a no-decision.

Fantasy Tip: Jenkins showed some promise at Class AAA Gwinnett, so perhaps this fine first start will get him going, should the Braves elect to keep him in the rotation. He won't pick up many wins or strikeouts, however, which should limit his usefulness to deep NL-only formats.

Fantasy Tip: Jenkins hasn't made a start in the majors, so this likely has the makings of a bullpen outing with Jenkins pitching five innings in a best-case scenario. View him as a desperation start in all fantasy formats Wednesday. However, he is a highly regarded prospect, so monitoring his results is encouraged for keeper/dynasty and NL-only owners.

Fantasy Tip: Hopefully this doesn't turn out to be something that sidelines Gant for an extended period, as he's actually looked pretty decent since entering the rotation after beginning the year in the bullpen. If Gant has to miss any time, Jenkins, a top prospect, would be one of the lead candidates to take his spot. He's worth stashing in NL-only leagues for his potential if this is indeed the case.

Fantasy Tip: Jenkins has pitched out of the bullpen the last four outings for Gwinnett, which makes one assume he'll do the same with the big club. Jenkins has been a top prospect as a starter for a while. He could contribute in K's and ratios in NL-only leagues, but he's a watch-list player for now.

Fantasy Tip: The Braves are clearly in rebuilding mode, and this is one of the weaker starting rotations in the bigs to begin the year. Teheran has value as a sleeper in mixed leagues, but all the others have major questions and are better left to those in NL-only leagues.
